This project investigates the mechanisms of zinc uptake in rice plants to develop varieties that can thrive in zinc-deficient soils. By enhancing zinc efficiency, it aims to improve nutrition and health in communities reliant on rice as a staple crop.
Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for humans and plants.
The agricultural soils of large parts of the world are deficient in Zn, which causes Zn malnutrition to millions of people.
This is of particular concern to economies depending on rice as major crop such as the developing countries in Asia.
The development of Zn-efficient rice, able to tolerate low Zn levels and achieve a sufficient Zn concentration in grains, would have a very positive influence on the economy and health of the affe…
